Just a brief note, Christy, to say that, if you never had reason before, you certainly have reason right now to be proud of Senator Jay Rockefeller. Even I am proud of him today. He has been very strong in his support of the public option, and he’s been willing to talk very publicly about why, and why the other ways are not viable. Congratulations to the State of West Virginia for voting him in.

certainly was thinking of you while watching Senator Rockefeller on Ed’s show (link below) I had never seen that Jay before – there is no denying the authentic passion and advocacy – imagine what that feller could accomplish :D

Still jumping in the ponds here in Athens County for my time off. Beautiful clear and crisp days, golden rod going off, purple asters, Queen Annes lace, tail end of the bountiful display of botanicals here in s.e. Ohio.

One thing I have noticed is there has been little to no attention being given to the latest UN report about findings by Goldstone having to do with war crimes committed during the disproportionate response by Israel on the Gaza.

Only folks to touch it much are of course Amy Goodman and Mondoweiss. No mention by Brian Williams (even when he had Carter on to talk about the Wilson “you lie” comment.) Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann those liberal media folks will not touch it.

It is an important report

UN fact finding mission finds that Israeli actions in Gaza amounted to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanityhttp://mondoweiss.net/2009/09/…..anity.html

Wowzers. That would be great news. Along with the change in missile defense, today could be a good news day.
Hi cbl2, nice and happy lady.
I’m going to research that release. If I read anything specific, I’ll come back and note it.
